Angel Onayami Soudanjo Prelude

[p001]

Narration: In this park, there is a bench known as the angel's consultation office.
Narration: If you sit on the bench and recite "angel-sama, please help me" three times, an angel will come to listen to your worries... or so the rumor goes.

sfx: chicadas chirping

Narration: I've seen that "angel".

Narration: Carrying a sword and a horn and wearing white clothes...

???: GYAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[p002]

Angel: Ooh!!
Angel: Long time no see. Doing well?

Girl: G-good, thanks.
Angel: By the way,

Angel: Somehow, I'm not so sure I can help this guy.
この人なんとかしてくれへんかなー
Boy: UAAHYAAA!! HAHAHYAHYAHYAHYAHYAAA!!

[p003]

Girl: Umm
Girl: Are you... alright?
Boy: Eh?
Boy: A-ah.
Boy: Yep.
(right of boy) Haa haa

Girl: I think it's hard to believe, but
Girl: This guy is really an a... angel-like being.
Angel: What's with that hesitation.

Boy: Well, haha...
Boy: It's okay, I don't doubt it.
Boy: This was just a little unexpected.

Girl (thoughts): Unexpected... well, that's true...
Angel: So, now that we've got that out of the way, welcome to the angel's consultation office.
(right of Angel) Welcoming pose
Angel: Now what would be worrying you, young man?

Boy: But the best are those well-honed muscles!!
Boy: Any way I look at it, you make a splendid an...

(left of Angel) Really?
(right of Boy) Twitch

Angel: Well, anyway... back to the real issue.
Angel: Basically, you want to conquer your stage fright.
Boy: Pretty much.

[p005]

Angel: You can get rid of that sort of thing in one go, can't ya?
そういうのはいっぺんフッ切れたらイケるもんちゃうか?
Angel: Probably by going somewhere where there's a lot of people and doing a surprise concert.
Boy: Surp...?!
Boy: I-I-I-I'd die!! Doing something like that!!

Angel: It'll be fine. If you get seriously sick from doing it, you can just take a look at these angel eyes.
Boy: PFFAHA!! Angel eyes!!
Girl (thoughts): I can't even tell which one's doing the tsukkomi anymore...
もうどっちにツッコんだものやら。。。

Angel: But somewhere where there's a lot of people during the daytime on a weekday...
Angel: Hm? Weekday?
Angel: You're not in school?
Girl: It's summer break right now.
(left of girl) So I'm free.

Boy: Huh?
Boy: You go to that school over there, right?
(left of bubble) I've seen you walking around in the school's uniform.
Girl: Yes.

Boy: Today's a school day, you know.

Girl: WHAAAAAAAA?!
Boy: My younger brother goes to the same school.

Angel: Alright then! How's about we go do that surprise concert at the school.
Angel: Right now.
Boy: WHAAAAAAAA?!

Boy: UOOO?!
Boy: It's huge!
Boy: And scary!!

Angel: You come along, too.
Girl: Uh.

Girl: No, well... on top of skipping, to wander around school in regular clothes is kinda...
Angel: It'll be fine if you take cover on sheep's back.
(left of Angel) C'mon, get on, get on.

Angel: Now then, set up and get ready.
(beneath bubble, star) School grounds
Boy: Uuh...
Girl: I came after all...

Boy: Ah, you have to plug that into an amp, or the sound won't be loud...
Angel: Amp? Hmmm...

[p007]

sfx bubble: Push
sfx bubble: Meeh

Sheep: GYAAAAN
(sound of a guitar being strummed)

Boy: EHH?!
(left of bubble) Nice sound!!
Angel: Well, it's 'cause this guy's an electric sheep.
Angel: You could say he came from a dream.
(above girl) Just where did you plug that...

Boy: No, but
Boy: L-l-like I thougght, I c-c-can't do th-this.
(sfx) Shiver shiver shiver
Angel: Haa ha ha, nothing to worry about.

Angel: Useful tool!

Angel: A sword for cutting the thread of anxiety!!
Boy: Uah?!

Girl: Huh?!
Girl: Isn't that the sword for cutting the red thread between a man and a wom...
Angel: It can cut all sorts of things.
Angel: People, for one.
Girl: People?!

[p008]

Boy: ALRIGHT!!
Boy: ALL YOU STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL PAY ATTEEEENTION!!

Students: What's that?
(above students) What happened?

Angel: Oooh
Angel: Good opener!!
Girl (thoughts): He did a 180...

Boy: Adults just don't understand nothiiiiin!!

Boy: ...even though the song says that a lot, the guy singing it is also basically an adult.
(above boy) In all honesty

Boy: Adults make a huge profit on hit songs like that.
Boy: All you boys and girls!! What do you think of that?!
(above school) What's that, what's going on? He's shaking his finger at us.

[p009]

Students: It...it's unforgiiiivable!!

Boy: DON'T ACT SPOILED!!!
Boy: Even adults have their own adult reasooooons!!

(above school, right) Wha?!
(above school) Wahahahaha!!
(right of school) What's with that guy?!
(right of Boy) They've got to provide for their family, you know~♪

Girl: A comic band...?!
Angel: Ahahahahaha

Girl: More like... is this sorta thing alright?
Angel: It's fine, just fine. 'Cause he's got this sort of stage presence. Just look at that.

Angel: That's a good face he's making.

[p010]

Boy: Ooh...
(left of boy) I did it.

[p011]

Teachers: HEEEEY!!
Teachers: You over there!! Don't move!
Angel: Oh, it's the teachers. Let's run for it~

Girl: Eeek!
(left of Angel) Wahahahahaha

Boy: Pheeeew!!

Angel: How's it feel?
Angel: If you completely break free of your anxiety, you can perform easily, can'tcha?
いっぺんフッ切ったらラクに演(や)れたやろ?

Boy: Yes!
Boy: THAT WAS THE BEST!!

Angel: Even if you're some kind of pro sports player, there's just no escaping the nervousness ya feel at the beginning of your first game.
Angel: Same with singers and actors, too.

[p012]

Angel: But once you've taken that first step, you'll be able to handle whatever unexpectedly comes your way.
しかし最初の一歩さえ踏み出してまえば案外何事もうまくいくものやねん
Boy: Thanks a lot!!
Boy: So, I'm going to hurry over to the live concert from here!!
Girl: Right now?!

Angel: Kukuku. Well now~
Angel: The young are sure energetic!!
Angel: Makes me jealous.

Angel: You're not looking energetic at all.
Girl: A school day...
Girl: Even though I was aiming for perfect attendance...

Angel: No worries!! That clumsy girl aspect of you is also that thing. Y'know, m...moe?
(right of girl) What kind of worry is that.
Girl: Haah...
(small bubble text): ...moe?

Angel: Well... anyway, this time

Angel: you could say "it's easier to do something than to worry about it"!!
Girl: Please don't forcibly sum things up with cliche final words and a self-satisfied face.
ショボイオチとしてやったり顔でムリヤリ締めないでください
(left of bubble) Well, whatever. Either of them would suit you, ossan...
ま、いいけどどっちむいてんだおっさん
